Liner Notes:

Here it is - my first FAWM song ever, written yesterday and recorded today. I can tell this is gonna be fun, because by Valentine's Day, we'll all be digging into the deepest recesses of our imaginations for whatever ideas are left. Personally, all my songs towards the end of the month might just be samples of people yelling "Funk Machine" over and over again.

And Errol, this is my official apology for commenting on your zong last year. I figure to apologize via song is the only appropriate method, under the circumstances.

Lyrics:

FAWM FAWM FAWM FAWM

I joined FAWM so I could sing 14 songs for other people
I joined FAWM so I could write 14 songs for me-pull
February seems like a funny time to write 14 songs
but I hope I don't end up with 14 zongs.

I joined FAWM so I could try to keep up with Errol
Last year I didn't read the FAQ cuz I was feral
I commented on a song that was meant to be a zong
and oh that was oh so oh so wrong

Come February 27
if I only have 4 songs done
I'll write ten all tied up and mean
Maybe like a funk machine

Like a funk machine

I wake up each morning wondering what I'll sing about today
Or maybe tomorrow but I can't wait very long or I'll stray
I want to be a winner and have 14 under my belt
A sense of accomplishment I will have felt

This is song one for twenty ten and that's a start
It may not be good it may not be cool but it's art, somehow
I sit here writing lyrics in my underwear and my bolo
oh, wait, now it's time for a vicious guitar solo
Rock me one time

I joined FAWM so I could sing 14 songs for other people

Was that song that was supposed to be a zong my own You've Found A Zong from last year? If it was, then it's just as well, since I ended FAWM '09 with no zongs whatsoever.

I think this is the first meta-FAWM song I've heard so far. Or maybe the second. Anyway, it's way funny, it's a keeper, and it deserves to be included in FAWM! The Musical. The mid-song funk machine sold me. And all meta-FAWM songs should name-drop Errol from now on.

Wait -- that zong was Errol's? I remember -- Don't Touch My Zong!!! I commented on it too! I couldn't resist. Besides, that's where I got the idea for FAWM! The Musical in the first place!

*LAUGH*
"BUM BUM BUM BUM"

So, when you were being 'feral', were you caught in the throes of jungal feral passion? If -

Oooh, cool change into funk machine. *laugh* I am commenting as I listen!

So my thoughts stop in midsentence.

I won't comment on your underwear because that would be getting awkward but when you said "start", I thought you said "Stop Heart" and I was thinking, you are talking about coronary disease? Or maybe fibrillation? There's a song idea for you!

Nice guitar solo! There should always be guitar solos. FAWM is one of those times I wish I could play guitar, so I could at least do a decent solo. Mind you, I can't even do a decent solo when I'm on the keyboard. When I get together with my band mates, and they break out into solos, I just hope they don't look at me and go "SOLO" and I'll just break down into a quivering mess of rancid weep moss. Which doesn't make sense, but I can't blues solo on the piano. That isn't my generation. Darn it, running out of chara

ROTFL!! This should be the theme song for Charlie's show! For some reason this reminds me of the Rocky Horror Picture show - maybe it's the voicing. Fun! Good guitar solo, too.
